Grapefruit Lemonade

Grapefruit is a vitamin C bomb! It has a super high nutrient and fiber content, and the latter is great at supporting the liver's functions, such as detoxification. Additionally, the flavanoid naringenin (which is responsible for grapefruit's bitter taste!), really helps to break down fat.

Lemons and limes also contribute to positive well-being, as they're also full of vitamin C. This recipe perfectly combines all three of our fave citrus fruits. The ultimate summer time refreshment.

Ingredients (for 1 person):

  • 1 grapefruit
  • 2 organic lemons
  • 1 cup water

Instructions:

  1. Juice the lemons and the grapefruit.
  2. Boil the water and allow it to cool before adding the fruit juices
  3. Enjoy!
